martyrdom ...how heroic .....
:liar: :violin: :rip: :duck:
did you vote for anyone in either of the last two presidential general elections?
Just the last one. I\'m a young \'un.
and for whom did you vote, if you don\'t mind my asking.
I wish I understood enough about politics and the candidates and your brain and beliefs to understand why you would give your vote willingly to Kerry but would rather die than vote for barrack or even Hillary for that matter. Is the difference between Kerry and Barack/Hillary really that extreme? To break it down even further...how much different is choosing Kerry over Bush than Barack over McCain?
I voted for Kerry because I felt Bush was so dangerous. I would not vote for Obama or McCain because I feel they could both be dangerous. It partially has to do with the candidates, and partially has to do with the political climate and current events.
Thats what I am driving at right there.
By voting for Kerry you were choosing the candidate you felt was less dangerous.
We are not out of the woods yet.
Bush has left us with an awful mess and the future is far from secure.
It\'s dangerous, uncertain...I\'d even say crucial times at the moment.
Why not choose the candidate you feel is less dangerous this time around?
The situation is no less drastic than it was four years ago.
You think they are both that extremely yet equally dangerous to the country but in different ways?
They all scare me this time around. Though I didn\'t agree with him on many things, Kerry did not scare me.
What scares you most about Barack? His inexperience? The lack of specific and detailed plans to enact and initiate the type of change he preaches? Or is it the type of change itself that scares you.
Yes to the first two questions, along with his immigration policy.
I also have big problems with his big-government ideas.
Don\'t get me wrong, I think he\'s a good man, and if he becomes president, I won\'t be angry.
I just think he might be more suited for... poet laureate.
Just in case you guys haven\'t seen this gem yet:

I\'m pissed at Deval Patrick over this whole casinos-in-Massachusetts deal. I don\'t think the state should raise money by taking advantage of many people\'s gambling problems.
Also, I\'m in favor of universal health care but not mandated-corporate-insurance with tax penalties like Mitt Romney imposed on us. The best health care would be something like they have in England where the state owns the hospitals and pays the doctors. As seen in the movie Sicko.
On another note I hope Breakfast plays the new song "Rush" electrified @ Mill St Brews
